„I have someone with insider info hint that Roland would be releasing a Performance Sampler at its 9/09 event. He didn’t give me much more than that, I was asking about the new Pioneer Toraiz and he recommended that I wait until after the event to see their product.“

you said that earlier – but well – we’ll see on the 9th – do we see that sampler? well anyway – it’s the wrong topic (this is about a performance/festival) so does not make sense… for that one – better post to the roland related ones ;) or just go here for german posts: https://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=116471

„Aside from what’s mentioned there’s official word that besides Boutique ACB versions they are launching a limited run of 1 to 1 recreations. Limited run of 909 units of a tr 909, 303 units of the tb303 and 8 units of the Jupiter 8 and, 808 units of the tr808. I can’t wait. Saw this on my feed earlier. Pre-order already in.“

hier mein kommentar im yamaha synth forum:

neither fish nor fowl. track to arp is good, but still no meaningful way to record tracks one after the other, instead of simultaneously. (smorenburg´s workaround is way too cumbersome.) laughable. would be an easy fix. „Song Loop playback function has been added.“ so what does that mean? still no loop recording possible? we need a copy function, most importantly. to be able to copy a specified area of recorder data is super-convenient for repeating the same phrase several times. yamaha wants us to record each and every chorus separately. how odd is that? how about erasing mistakes? still no way to erase recorder data inside a specified area. they should also implement copy arp to track. it would allow users to place arps in destination tracks. in a measure dialog box, one would be able to specify the beginning bar of the copy-destination. man, this board has so much potential but it´s so aggravating to try and record stuff it´s not worth it imho. i love the montage except i can´t use it in its present state. the recorder is screwed up. so sad.
